Figure skater Anna Kolomenskaya, who danced on ice with Artem Frolov, said that the duo did not show the best performance in rhythmic dancing in the final of the Russian Grand Prix among juniors.
The tournament takes place in Sochi. Kolomenskaya and Frolov received 71.94 points for rhythm dance.
“Everything went well, we are happy with the performance, it was calmer than in the championship.” Yes, this is not our best rental in terms of points, let’s see that in the prints maybe something was not completed technically.
— Did the absence of Ekaterina Rybakova and Ivan Makhnonosov have an impact?
– No, we try to go to every competition and show ourselves, show our programs and not think about our opponents, in terms of where we can take. It motivates some, but on the contrary, it discourages others,” reports the correspondent, according to Kolomenskaya.
Frolov said he only learned about the absence of competitors during the draw.
— There was not much time left after the championship, the main start was over, the dance was calmly shown. The coach was happy.
— How did you react to the fact that Rybakova and Makhnonosov did not come?
“I only learned that they would not be there in the draw,” Frolov said.
The athletes will perform their free dance on March 14.
